For wind junkies – check out your wind resource! type in your zip code and see what pops up
June 20, 2008
This from Eileen – check out AWSTrueWind’s new Navigator. (Yes this is the same firm that just developed the new 70 m wind map for KS).
It’s more meant for utility scale wind. The lowest hub height you can check is 60 meters, which is probably also helpful for some community wind. Anything smaller, you need to do your own little wind study with an anemometer. But the tool is really neat to play with – and gives you a nice idea of resources in your area.
Yet another nice activity to while away a summer afternoon… if getting outside and playing is not an option.
